AGG ROBBERY
Aggravated Robbery in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “AGG ROBBERY” means
Texas Penal Code § 29.03 defines aggravated robbery. The State must first prove a robbery under Texas Penal Code § 29.02: while in the course of committing theft and with intent to obtain or maintain control of the property, the defendant intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused bodily injury to another, or intentionally or knowingly threatened or placed another in fear of imminent bodily injury or death. The State must then prove at least one aggravating circumstance: the defendant caused serious bodily injury to another; used or exhibited a deadly weapon; or caused bodily injury to, or threatened or placed in fear of imminent bodily injury or death, a person who was 65 years of age or older or a disabled person. "In the course of committing theft" includes conduct that occurs during an attempt to commit theft or in immediate flight after the attempt or commission of theft.
